For over twenty years this charity has helped severely bullied young people who self-exclude from school as a result of trauma or other compelling reasons, to get back on an academic track and reconnect with society. Each student at Red Balloon has their own harrowing story, but every student is linked by their shared desire to secure the future that an education offers.
Founded in 1996, Red Balloon is a community in which children who have been traumatised by bullying or other events and circumstances can feel safe, regain their self-esteem, get back on an academic track and become confident enough to be able to rejoin their mainstream peers.
